International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2008;29(10):875-877
Objective To study the drug resistance and production status of highly producing AmpC enzymes, extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and drug resistance in Acinetobacter bau-mannii. Methods Drug sensitivity test was performed with Kirby-Bauer method. ESBLs were detected with phenotype confirmatory test (double-disk synergy test), and highly producing AmpC enzymes were measured with phenotype screening method. Results 93 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii were mainly obtained from respiratory department and neurosurgery, and isolated from sputum/pharyngeal stab, raw surface/wound secretion and urine samples. 15 strains (16.1%) of highly producing AmpCenzyme-producing Acinetobacter baumannii were detected, so were 10 strains (10. 8%) of ESBLs-pro-ducing isolates. All enzymes-producing strains displayed multi-resistant, and their resistant rates to the third cephalosporin, penicillins and aztreonam were much higher than enzymes non-producing ones. None was detected resistant to imipenem. Conclusion Occurrence of highly producing AmpC en-zymes and extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) is one of causes for Acinetobacter baumannii multi-resistance. It suggests that detection of ESBLs-producing isolates should be strengthened so as to prevent their outbreak and spread.

Objective To investigate the molecular epidemiology of hepatitis B virus(HBV) in child carriers. Methods Blood samples were collected from children under 15 in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Enzyme immunoassay(EIA) and microparticle enzyme immunoassay(MEIA) were applied to screen hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg) positive children. Nested-PCR and real time PCR were used to amplify the HBV S gene and detected HBV DNA loads. S gene sequence and three-dimensional structure were analyzed by the DNASTAR and VMD1.8.6, respectively. SPSS 12.0 software was applied for data processing. Results A total of 64 HBsAg-positive cases were found in the screened children, from which 41 HBV S gene sequences were obtained. The average HBV DNA loads were(4.15±0.79)×10~7 copies/mL in 64 HBV carriers. Among 41 sequences. genotype C, B and B+C accounted for 82.93%(34/41), 12.19%(5/41)and 4.88%(2/41), respectively; and the serotypes were adr(34/39,87.18%), adw(4/39,10.24%) and ayr (1/39, 2.56%) with 2 strains unable to be sub-typed. The most common variants of "a" determinant in HBV S gene were 129 site Q→F(glutamine→phenylalanine), 145 site G→R(glycine→lysine), 131 site S→N(serine→asparagine)and 144 site C→A(cysteine→alanine), and the mutation frequencies were 12.20%(5/41), 4.88%(2/41), 2.27%(1/41)and 2.27%(1/41), respectively . The total mutation frequency was 21.95%(9/41). The S protein spatial structures of 129 site "Q→F" and 145 site "G→R" were entirely different from that of the wild strain. Conclusion Wild strain of HBV(C/adr) is predominant in the children HBV carriers, exhibiting a high replication, and the HBV vaccine should be still effective.

Objective To measure the oxygen partial pressure (PtO2) within a situation of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) implement, and to discuss the potential mechanism of VSD alleviating skeletal muscle ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury in rabbits. Methods Rabbits were randomly(random number) divided into three groups: sham (n=10), I/R (n=10) and I/R+VSD (n=10) groups. In the I/R group, left hind limb ischemia was induced by clamping the femoral artery and vein for 4 h, then released for 6 h, to allow reperfusion of the limb. VSD was only performed in the I/R+VSD group during the reperfusion period. All rabbits were administered a series test of PtO2 in different time points before and after reperfusion, and the left hind limb skeletal muscle and ear vein blood samples were immediately harvested for biochemical analyses, including hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) mRNA and protein, and lactic acid (LA). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Fisher's least significant difference (LSD) test or Tamhane's T2 test was used where appropriate to analyze the experimental results. Results The levels of PtO2 in the I/R and I/R+VSD groups were decreased after ischemia, but no significant difference was noted between the two groups (t=1.322, P=0.296). The PtO2 levels in the I/R+VSD group were less increased than those in the I/R group after reperfusion (t=2.015, P=0.046). The levels of HIF-1α mRNA and protein were increased after I/R injuries (F=10.120, P=0.002; F=36.480, P<0.01; F=6.960, P=0.015, F=4.470, P=0.035), and the levels in the I/R+VSD group were greater than those in the I/R group (t=1.799, P=0.048, t=5.911, P=0.019; t=1.878, P=0.046, t=2.609, P=0.030). The LA levels were significantly increased in the skeletal muscle and blood samples in the I/R and I/R+NPWT groups compared with those in the sham group at the final stage (F=9.540, P=0.002 and F=13.750, P<0.01), but the levels in the I/R+VSD group were less than those in the I/R group (t=2.263, P=0.040 and t=3.617, P=0.027). Conclusions Our results suggested that VSD technique decreased PtO2 in regional ischemic muscles and led to increases in HIF-1α mRNA and protein that subsequent accumulation of less LA in both of regional skeletal muscle and systemic blood circulation, which provided protection effect after I/R injury in rabbits.
